Thank you Stef for your reply.
I tried the -traversal option on a local html file on the disk and got
this message
The '-traversal' switch is for http URLs and cannot be used for
'first.html'. , so I guess I can't test it on local files.
But I tried the -crawl switch along with the -trace switch as in:
lynx -crawl -dump -force_html -nolist -hiddenlinks=ignore -trace first.html
------------------------------------------
The output looks like the following, so from looking at the output it
appears that
Lynx is not making a connection to any of the external resources.
------------------------------------------
address@hidden lynx_test]$ lynx -crawl -dump -force_html -nolist
-hiddenlinks=ignore -trace first.html
THE_URL:file://localhost/var/tmp/lynx_test/first.html
THE_TITLE: Test Page in Lynx
This is a test
Google
An example image
IFRAME: http://www.yahoo.com
Alternate content for browsers that don't support iFrames.
[BUTTON]
address@hidden lynx_test]$
------------------------------------------------------------
first.html contents (the input to lynx command)
For testing purposes:
I've added a script tag to point to an external javascript
an img tag pointing to an external site's image
an iframe pointing to an external site
------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>

The lynx browser will check if the URL argument is local first. Since "first.html" is local, no network activity occurs; otherwise you would see name resolution and a GET request. But see lynx -traversal -crawl http://lynx.isc.org/current/lynx2-8-7/docs/CRAWL.announce You will see some of the behaviour you expect. Stef http://caunter.ca/contact.html
